The new kid is absolutely terrible. Or rather, the cringe-worthy part they want him to play.

After this third episode, I'm pretty sure we're in front of the worst child character in a TV show, ever. I've never felt so homicidal Razz Laughing

Though it's not just that, the romance parts are corny too, and pacing is not so great. There a few interesting/cool scenes here and there, but generally for me this season hasn't started off with the right foot :S

Holy shit I just noticed that the main hero here is played by the same guy as Ant-Man's antagonist. Hair make such a difference.

Inspired by Mr. Robot I'm trying a novel approach: I convinced myself that whenever the stupid kid's on the screen I see a giant Pac-man in his stead, and whenever he opens his mouth I hear only this

And so far so good! Hell, he actually seems to have more of a purpose in the story now!

I'd say: mediocre show turned shit.

That nice pacing, all gone... now they are stretching it. It doesn't help it at all, especially not with a kid that seems to be incapable of having a straight neck...

Haven't seen the last epi, but I have a suspicion that it will be the one that makes me drop this show.
You know it turned quite bad when your other half says: "I think that Falling Skies is better than this." Laughing

Hahahahah naaah, that's where it definitively goes wrong. I would put FX as the second best network right now, though maybe Showtime is re-stealing that spot Very Happy

Seeing how this season is going I'd say: don't invest any time in it.

I agree. Razz Wouldn't recommend it either to a newcomer right now, because cringe aside, it's not clear where this is heading both in the narrative and quality departments.

The first season was alright in my opinion, but the only reason why I keep watching this one is because I (naively? xD) hope that it'll get better at some point.

And yet they cancelled The Bridge last year. It wasn't the greatest but it was better than this Sad



1 and 2 are still amazing.

Yeah it wasnt bad. Not sure about Eph's Agent 47 look though. He looks better with hair. Is Corey Stoll normally bald? He's bald on his IMDB profile photo and he was bald in Ant-Man.

Edit: Apparently he is. He wore a toupee in The Strain until season 2 episode 5.
